    I like the Waterhouse and our server Ian was lovely however 2 of our party of 10 ordered burgers and they both complained that their burgers tasted like salmon. They both had a couple of bites and stopped eating them. My son even sent back his burger and got another but sadly with the same results. I can only infer that the Waterhouse uses the same grill for the burgers and salmon and the result was very poor. Either have two dedicated grills or clean the grill between fish and meat.

    Beautiful restaurant with wonderful service. However, the lovely setting would have been helped by a better menu to make this an unforgettable lunch. Most items on the lunch menu were standard apps and sandwiches but there were no lunches available such as a pasta dish or other warm composed dish for an elevated lunch. Our food was good, but the nice surroundings deserve a few more offerings so you're not just having a chicken sammy with a view.

    Perhaps they were just extra busy on Mother’s Day, but the menu was limited and the food only okay. The flatbread was burned on one side, but also only lukewarm by the time it arrived. Service was very slow.

    Nice start to masters degree graduation celebration. Liza was an exceptional server with excellent drink and meal recommendations. Everything was delicious and who wouldn’t enjoy dining while listening to the flowing water for outdoor dining on a lovely spring evening. Excellent restaurant choice!

    Have eaten at the restaurant many times and always enjoyed the ambience and food. Took a ride to the tulip festival in Hancock yesterday and decided to make a reservation for an early dinner. We actually showed up earlier than expected and were able to eat outside shortly after 5 PM, weather was wonderful. Service was very good and the fish and chips were very good though we ordered sweet potato fries and got regular fries. I ordered the scallops and found them to be slightly gritty. Mentioned it to the manager, and she said she talk with the chef. I did ask for a substitute on the mushrooms, and was given Swiss chard, not a favorite but it was good. Flavoring on the noodles was also not as good as I remember.

    We went to the new Monday Night international menu special event. I highly recommend a reservation. We had the Sri Lankan food and it was very interesting and delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful. The noise level is a bit difficult but overall we would go again.

    It was my first time dining here -- it was a rainy night, so we didn't get to enjoy the patio, but the dining room was very comfortable (and not too loud). My friend enjoyed her burger, while I had the fish tacos -- the ingredients were fresh, and the portions were large. The coconut cake deserves its own 5 stars!

    Food was phenomenal, service was a bit slow, took about 35 minutes after apps before we got out main course. Waitress was great, had a great sense of humor. We will return.
